Why Christian Women Should Submit In Marriage. by ebubeson(op): 3:54am On Dec 01, 2024
Before I continue.

Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"

Ephesians 5:22 "Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord"

Your wife is to be treated with much love, respect, care, attention etc. You are not to be like a boss over, but a good leader to her. She can give you Godly counsel and guide you on matters she knows God's will on. You are not to be domineering, but flexible even as you lead.

On the part of the wife, respect your husband and submit to him. See yourself as a Deputy or Vice President of the home. Submit to him on things that are good and Godly. Anything that God hates and does not conform to God's will, do not submit to anyone on that.

A wife is to be good, humble, not toxic and not rude. A husband too should be good, humble, not to toxic and not rude. Do not give place to the devil in your marriage.

Husbands love your wives. Wives submit to your husbands.

Note: From the insight I got from someone, marry who you can respect.

Happy Sunday.

Wives should submit to their own husbands so that there may be ORDERLINESS in Christian homes even if the husband is not a believer he can be won over by the chastity of his wife! 1Peter 3:1-2

And husbands should love their wives too...

Bitterness and domestic violence should be far from the home.

And don't forget the importance of prayer in the home. It does a great deal of wonders.

Stop being a Christian, rather be a Bible believing child of the Most High. We can see the fruit religion as bear in sub Sahara Africa thus far, it's a system of enslavement.

Read your Bible and build a personal relationship with the Most High Yahuah and His only begotten Son Yahusha, Him alone is your Messiah and He is coming to redeem His people from what our people have been subjected to.

I fully agree and also I feel this issue should never be addressed with an unequal emphasis placed on the responsibility of the men.
Yes women are to submit to husbands and more so men are to Love their wives........not just love but to Love them like Christ loved the church.

That is a deliberate love that overlooks shortcomings and is sacrificial.

Well done for the balance OP

It makes sense for a woman to assume the lower position in a humans heterogeneous partnership because biology supports that. So it is scientific.

Nothing religious there

Make dem no submit na. Make dem dey form Kim Kardashian.

But what they don't understand is that: in Kardashian's society, the system protects her even when she will be old. But in our society, a man protects a woman. If you divorce, na you go hear am.

More emphasis should be placed on the man. The bible teaches men to Love just as Christ loved the church but men have long ignored this to focus on the women aspect of submission forget the Verse that says submitting one to another. In the said passage, it has 13 verses, for 21 to 33, 11 of it talks about the duty of man while only 2 talks to the woman.

Due to the patriarchal society we have especially in africa, they twisted the passage concentrating only on vs22 forgetting 21, 24 to 33.

They don't want to make the sacrifices of love just as Jesus did because they know that the demands of LOVE far outweighs that of Submission

If an unbelieving husband can be won over by the wife's behaviour, how much more a believing husband.

Easy marriage hack. To be successfully married, a woman should be ready to call her husband respectfully with Sir, instead of baby and honey...the sense of submission and respect will remain.
Sir? That is for insolent wives.

She should call him black Jesus instead.

The only useless chromosome in the body is the Make(Y) chromosome. Let your misogynist Bible written by man keep deceiving you. If you like don’t go out there and look for the truth. Keep mistreating Mother Nature and her children, the truth will out. The whole world has been deceived by the Beast and his Book(Bible).

Re: Why Christian Women Should Submit In Marriage. by JovialJune(f):
Next time Op, try not to mischievous, submission is for both husband and wife,
In 1Peter 3:7, the bible says
Husbands, in the same waysubmit yourselves to your own wives, as you dwell together wisely, recognizing her........

Christian women should submit in a marriage where there is mutual respect, loyalty, and trust, not to a irresponsible selfish self centered cheating man who does not give a hoot about his wife and children, if you do that, you will face the consequences and be made to fend for yourself and kids alone.

Remember the Bible says that "a man that can't provide for his family is worse than an infidel", Bible also said that "a lazy man does not deserve to eat" laziness is a sin.

To many marital crises abound these days caused by men, instead of focusing on men that are supposed to build and nurture their home, you focus more of women because of useless ego, thank God we are in an era where women are becoming enlightened, no more enduring bullshit in marriage, you misbehave, you go your separate ways.

Alhamdulillah for Islam! It is clearly stated that Allah has favoured the husband as the head over the wife!

Woman go still dey claim equality with the husband!

Lol, so those that call their husband baby and honey don't respect their husband? Only those that call him sir submit and respect their husband?

Again let's be getting sense o, what works for A can't work for B, rigidity and subjugation doesn't automatically means respect know the difference.
